Wisdom from the ether! : ) Marcus - Mikel is right on. (I wasn't sure of the answer there...)
So, if you can use JOSM, you should have everything you need. The only tricky step will be to change the server you connect to with JOSM. To do this, open JOSM & Preferences -> Connection Preferences (the tab button that looks like a globe with a power cable & plug) Change the OSM Server URL to: http://www.openhistoricalmap.org/api/ And you should be good to go.
